Impenetrable- Sequel to Arcanum

Chapter 42: Kaliska

I was so confused. My sister had just told me I was a princess, but this was so hard to believe. I had been a normal girl my whole life, hadn't I?

Harmony led me towards the others, and I examined Spruce. My mind was still trying to understand who he was. All I knew was that he was prince, but for some reason, he seemed sad that I didn't remember him.

Who was he to me in the past? I wondered, and sighed,

"I should go see your brother."

"Good luck." He breathed, but I could tell there was hurt on his face. I nodded, and headed out of the shop, seeing Colt laying beneath a tree, clutching his hair extremely hard.

"Hi." I scratched my neck, and stood a few feet away from the guy, staring at him. Colt looked up at me, glaring with his green eyes.

"I can't believe you did this to me!" He shouted, and I felt fear start to settle in my stomach. What was he talking about? "I hate you so much!" The guy got to his feet, brushing the waterfall of tears of his face. He was growling at me, and clenching his fists.

"I-I'm sorry..." I whispered, backing up. Colt started stomping toward me, and my eyes went wide, and more tears came down my face. I waited for him to kick me, or punch me, or do anything. Closing my eyes, I waited for the pain. Though instead of pain, I felt lips against my own, and I was thrown against the tree.

Opening my eyes, I saw Colt's eyes were closed, as he continued to press his lips against mine. Colt finally let go, and he laid his head on my shoulder, and started to cry. "Why did you have to leave me?" He sobbed, and I stared at the boy, unaware of what I was supposed to do.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know who you are." I pushed Colt off me, and turned around, running straight to my home. I didn't even look twice to see what Colt's reaction was. In the past, maybe I did love him, but know, I didn't know what I felt about the guy. Pushing open my front door, I went to my bedroom, and collapsed down on the bed, sobbing.

I didn't have a clue of what was going on, and everything was too overwhelming.

"Kaliska." I heard someone at the door,

"Go away." I grumbled burying myself under the blankets, and the footsteps came right up beside my bed.

"I know this might be hard for you, but you need to listen to me." I peeked out from the blankets, seeing Spruce standing there,

"What?" I growled,

"You need to come with us back to the kingdom."

"Why!" I snapped, pulling the blankets back over me,

"Because, maybe we will be able to figure out how to get your memory back."

"Fine." I rose out of the bed, and Spruce waved,

"I'll meet you outside once you have packed." As I packed my stuff, I almost thought about taking off. For all I knew, Spruce and his brother could be pyscho murderers, although, my family seemed to trust them, and because of them, I decided I would follow Spruce's instructions. If it hadn't have been for them though, I would have taken straight off.

"Isn't this going to cause more conflict for my kingdom, though?" I asked my mom, who sighed,

"It might honey, but once you tell your father about it, I'm sure he will figure out something. We are willing to let you stay at our house if it isn't working though."

"Thanks mom." I smiled, and looked to the front of our group. Colt was ahead of his brother, and I could tell from his posture, that he wasn't the happiest person in the group.
